DEATH IN the WATER:
Is THE ELEMENT WE DRINK
DECIMATING THE PZ0PLEi


How q UniversaI Menace to Health
May BE Disarmsd.
Afew years ago the people in certain
section in one Of the leading cities Of the
State were prostrated with a malignant
disease, and upon investigation it was
found that only those who used water
from famous old well were the victims.
Professor s. A. baltimore, analyst OF
the New York State Board of Health,
upon analyzing water from this wells
found it more deadly than the city
sewagei
The filing up of the old well stopped
The ravages Of the disease.
Not long since thewriter noticed while
some men were making an excavation
for . large building, a stratum OF dark
colored earth running from near the
surface to hard pan. There it took an
other course toward O well near at hand.
The water from this well had for years
been tainted with the DRAWINGS from Q
receiving vault, the percolatisns OF which
had discolored the earth! - fs<as - :
Terrible! j; Ve%. 70
A similar condition of things exists in
every village and city where well water
10 used, and though the filtering which
the fluids receive in passing through the
earth may give them \ clear appearance,
vet the poison and disease remains,
though the water may look never 30
clear.
It is still worse with the farmer, for
the drainage from the barn-yard and the
slops from tIe kitchen eventually find
their way into the family well!
,DpIitiou 0f thinUa AYistQ in
our large cities, whose water supplies are
rivers fed bv little streams that carry of
the filth and drainage from houses. This
water" is eventually drunk by rich and
poor alike with great evil.
Some cautious people resort to the filter
for purifying this water, but even the
filter does not remove this poison, for
water of the most deadly character may
pass through this filter and become clear,
yet the poison disguised is there.
They who use filters know that they
must be renewed at regular periods, for
even though they do not take out all the
impur4ty, they soon become foul.
Now in like manner the human kid
neys act as filter for the blood, and If
they are filled up with impurities and
become foul, like the filter, all the blood
in the system coursing through them be-
comes bad, for it is now conceded fact
that the kidneys are the chief means
whereby the blood is purified. These
organs are flied with thousands OF hasr-
like tubes which drain the impurities
from the blood, as the sewer pipes drain
impurities from our houses.
Ii sewer pipe breaks under the house,
the sewage escapes into the earth and
fills the house with poisonous gas; 30 il
any of the thousand and one little hair
like sewer tubes of the kidneys break
down, the entire body is affected by this
awful poison.
1t is . scientific fact that the kidneys
have few nerves of sensation; and, con-
sequently, disease may exist in these
organs for long time and not be sus-
pected by the individual. 1t Ia impossi-
Bile to filter or take the death out OF the
blood when the least arrangement exists
In these organs, and if the blood is not
Uttered then the uric acid, or kidney
poison, removable only by Warmers safe
cure, accumulxtes in the system and at
tacks any organ, producing nine out Of
ten ailments, just as sewer gas and oad
drainage produce 80 many fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to exist
If there is any marked departure from
ordinary health without apparent known
cause. and it should be understood by all
that the greatest peril exists, and is in
tensified, if there is the least neglect to
treat it promptly with that great specific,
Warmers safe cure, remedy that has
received the highest recognition by
scientific men who have thoroughly in
vestigated the character of kidney de-
rangements.
They may not tell rs that the cause oi
SO many diseases in this organ Is the i'm.

much Of the decay and disease which
eventually terminate in the fatal Brighti
disease, for this disease, alike among the
drinking men, prohibitionists, the TO-
bacco slave, the laborer, the merchan'
and the tramp, works terrible devasta-
ton every year.

tongue, and headaches, but the kidney
when diseased, struggles on for q loni
time, and the fact Of its disease can only
be discovered by the aid Of the nicros
cope or by the physician who 10 skitlful

IN the system to the arrangement o.

The public Is learning much On shis
plbject and when it comes 10 under
stand that the kidneys are the real health
regulators, as they are the real blood
purifiers OF the system, they will escap.:
an infinite amount Of unnecessary sun
tering, and add length Of days and happa
ness to their lot. SN~s,.
